Help stop Trump admin's dirty car plan in court. Gutting the Clean Car Standards will cause more pollution, and cost you more money at the pump. We say: “We’ll see you in court, Mr. President.”

Dear John,

At a time when Americans are coming together to confront the COVID-19 global pandemic, the Trump administration is pushing ahead with a reckless and divisive plan to weaken America’s Clean Car Standards.

2 out of 3 Americans support the Clean Car Standards as they are. And a bipartisan coalition of 24 governors have opposed the administration’s rollback. Automakers like Ford, Honda, BMW and Volkswagen have gotten on board and have joined California’s efforts to support tougher standards.

But the administration continues to ignore the science, the economics and the will of the people. They know COVID-19 attacks people with respiratory problems, yet their plan will make more Americans vulnerable.

That’s why our legal team is preparing a robust legal strategy to block the administration’s actions in court. It’s our last recourse in this fight – and we need your help.

Please donate now to our Legal Defense Fund to help our team fight back in court. New members and new monthly donors are eligible for a $1-for-$1 gift match.

We know this is a difficult and uncertain time. We’ve all been impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. Our hearts go out to you and your families during this crisis and we all hope you’re staying safe and following all the proper precautions.

And we realize there are many local support groups and food banks that urgently need help. We encourage everyone to do what you can to support relief efforts in your communities.

While I wish we could all stand united during this pandemic and put off debates around issues like cleaner cars and climate change, unfortunately the Trump administration is seizing this opportunity to press forward with their radical pro-polluter agenda.

So please, if you are able, step up today to donate to our Legal Defense Fund

I really can’t thank you enough for all the support you and our members and activists provide. Over the weekend, as we celebrated our 50th anniversary of EDF’s membership program, I heard from dozens of you who expressed pride in our five decades of progress. It is so touching to stand with you and be part of this movement for innovative environmental solutions.

Thank you for standing with us,

Sam Parry

P.S. In these unsettling days, many are finding it easier to donate with smaller monthly gifts to spread out their support – an option you may want to consider. Your first 12 gifts will be matched $1-for-$1 by the Wilson Charitable Trust. Thanks again for all you can do.
